What our fuse board customers say

Homeowners across Bromley trust UrbanVolt with their fuse boards

5 stars

Excellent. Work carried out quickly and efficiently. We were kept informed of what was being done throughout the process and new 'consumer unit and digital timer' explained after work completed. They made sure we both knew how to operate both and were happy and confident with work done. Friendly and polite. Gerald, our dog, gives them his seal of approval too! We woukd definitely use UrbanVolt again and recommend to family and friends.

5 stars

We had a new kitchen installed in June 2025 and Leon and his team at UrbanVolt were responsible for all the electrics.

Their first visit was to check the specification, to discuss our preferences and to explain electrical compliance issues. The second visit (once the old kitchen had been removed) was to carry out the necessary rewiring and installation of a newly-compliant fuse box. The third visit (after the new kitchen had been installed) was to install the new electric appliances and lighting.

They did a great job, were always on time, always extremely cheerful, polite and helpful, and cleared up any debris created so the work area was left clean and tidy. What more could you want? I'd recommend UrbanVolt Electrical to anyone wanting a job well done.

5 stars

Skilled and professional electricians.

Firstly they came to look around, talk to us, patiently explained the process and gave us clear breakdown of the cost.

They returned to do exactly what they promised.

I can highly recommend them as their work ethic can only be matched by polite behaviour and professional attitude.

Thank you boys, especially for a cracking job you did on chaotic maze of cables you've turned into tidy and safe gem of electrical cupboards.

Service

What a fuse board replacement covers

We replace old fuse boards with modern consumer units that protect your home and meet current wiring regulations. Every job is tested and certified by our NICEIC approved electricians.

Fuse board replacement

We remove your old rewireable or cartridge fuse board and fit a new metal-clad consumer unit. The work is done in one visit with minimal disruption to your home.

RCD and surge protection

Modern boards include RCDs that cut the power in a fault and prevent electric shock. We can add surge protection to guard your appliances against voltage spikes.

When to replace your fuse board

Rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, a wooden backboard, a board that keeps tripping, or an EICR that recommends it. If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a look.

Testing and certification

After installation we test every circuit and give you a NICEIC Electrical Installation Certificate. We notify building control for you through NICEIC, so you have a complete paper trail.

If the wiring needs replacing, we also do a full rewire, and an EICR if you want the installation checked first.

FAQs

Straight answers about this work in Bromley and the surrounding areas

Do I need a new board?

If your board has rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, a wooden backboard, or shows signs of heat damage, it's time to replace it. An old board won't protect you from electric shock the way a modern one does. A burning smell or scorch marks need attention straight away, so call us.

How long does it take, and will the power be off?

Most straightforward swaps take around half a day. The power is off while we change the board and test each circuit, and we'll agree a time that suits you.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes. Every board we fit comes with a NICEIC Electrical Installation Certificate, confirming it meets the current wiring regulations (BS 7671). We notify building control for you through NICEIC.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size of the board, how many circuits you have and the condition of the existing wiring. We'll give you a clear price after seeing it.

Can you add surge protection?

Yes, we fit surge protection devices that guard televisions, boilers and computers against voltage spikes. It is a small addition to the board. We will include it in your clear quote if you want it.

Can you work around my schedule?

Yes. We'll book a time that suits you and keep the work area clean and tidy.

Do landlords need this?

Landlords must have the electrics checked with an EICR at least every five years. If the report flags the board, we can replace it, often between tenancies.
